She had never used it—except as a threat. </p><p>Now as she aimed it, she experienced a feeling of guilt, remembering that time, years ago, </p><p> when she had prayed for the death of Edward Brodas, the Master, and then not too long </p><p> afterward had heard that great wailing cry that came from the throats of field hands, and knew</p><p> from the sound that the Master was dead.</p><p>One of the runaways said, again, “Let me go back. Let me go back,” and stood still and </p><p> then turned around and said, over his shoulder, “I am going back.”</p><p>She lifted the gun, aimed it at the despairing slave. She said, “Go on with us or die.” The </p><p> husky, low-pitched voice was grim.</p><p>He hesitated for a moment, and then he joined the others. They started walking again. </p><p>She tried to explain to them why none of them could go back to the plantation. If a runaway </p><p> returned, he would turn traitor; the master and the overseer would force him to turn traitor. </p><p>The returned slave would disclose the stopping places, the hiding places, the corn stacks they </p><p> had used with the full knowledge of the owner of the farm, th name of the German farmer who </p><p> had fed them and sheltered them. These people who had risked their own security to help </p><p> runaways would be ruined, fined, imprisoned.</p><p>She said, “We got to go free or die. And freedom’s not bought with dust.” Harriet Tubman Constructed Response Name: Period:</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p><p>______</p>
